Ian Stannard put in a dominant display to win the Smithfield Nocturne in London on Saturday night. The Sky rider went on the attack on the first lap and by the time he crossed the floodlit finish line he'd lapped the field and ridden away from them.

Rapha Condor Sharp's Kristian House was second as he was the only rider to live with Stannard's pace and lap the bunch, but like everyone else, he couldn't do anything to stop Stannard riding away on the final lap to take a solo win.
